It's back to roots for Sega's Sonic. After a decade of disappointments, the developer has taken a hint and is shifting focus back to what made the franchise and it's star character so iconic. The game will officially be known as Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, poised as a direct sequel to 1994's Sonic & Knuckles, and will arrive on Xbox Live Arcade, the PlayStation Network, and WiiWare sometime mid year.

Excellent, sometimes games were just not ment for 3D... Besides, a nice sexy 2d super high res sprite style game would be awesome, and sonic delivers in 2d. ^_^
